The National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, has urged African leaders to develop local solutions to combat terrorism and other security threats across the continent. Ribadu stressed the need for stronger global and regional cooperation, intelligence sharing, and the responsible use of emerging technologies to combat terrorism and violent extremism.

He emphasized that no country could effectively tackle transnational terrorist networks in isolation, and Nigeria's experience over the past 15 years had shown that military operations alone could not provide a sustainable solution to terrorism.
